Still waiting on @Glen, @avlar and @LDOG to vote, and if @Glen and @avlar haven't voted by tomorrow then there's a likelihood that I'll have to withdraw their nations from the contest. 

It's because the U23 world's were held right before

unfortunately, NO   iPlayer nowadays works only in the UK 

they just wasted years and built up a lot of bad press, haters and controversy (even with the IOC) before doing what should have been done from the beginning    now the construction work is on, the track in Cortina will be ready even before the more optimist would think: March 2025 the mandatory safety verification, Autumn 2025 an International Training Week and a test race (basically, the same timing of Beijing 2022 and their track) and according to Armin Zoeggeler, it will be a wonderful, demanding track, where a few training runs before the official opening for the International audience would have been very, very useful...and instead all this kind of advantage the Italian sliding sports teams could have had, are gone thanks to the usual Italian way of (recent) life, wasting time behind local useless, senseless protestors and political games that never go to advantage of anybody 

Going to the Canucks game today against the Hurricanes, will try to share some pictures as soon as I get back

So can we drop some music for the festival? I guess, so here is my first take, from a country i learned to love this year (), together with a few photos as requested by @konig    This is not only my favourite of the 5 Stans, but also this artist was the coolest surprise from the trip: started to listen by chance in an Air Astana flight entertainment and got hooked by her voice. I call her the Billie Eilish of Central Asia  Hope some of you will like it too, and if so go and listen to more as her other songs are also really good.      Ayau – Sybyrlaiyn                              .        .   .
